Burton Defiance Pant - Women's - 2008 BCS

I bought these pants last year in the "Gore Skull Print" pictured, and I love them. I never figured out why the design was called "Skull Print" though, cuz I still haven't seen any skulls. I am 5'5", 135lbs. and the small fits me beautifully. I have worn them boarding, sledding, snowmachining -- anything you can imagine in the snow, and they have kept me nice and dry. Despite all the rough play I put them through, they haven't even started to rip, fray, or fade! They don't have any insulation to speak of so I always wear at least some thermals underneath, but they have plenty of room for layering. I love the way they look on me as well-- very sporty, but in an understated way. I have received many compliments on them as well :) Overall, a great snowboard pant that I would highly recommend!

I got these in the azul color for my girlfriend for Christmas. She absolutely loves them. I did tons of research and found that these pants are the best price for the quality of product you get (waterproof rating, goretex, brand). The color is pretty sweet, not obnoxious or too bright. Her burton jacket happens to zip right into the pants too!

I got her an x-small as she is about 5'3 and 105 lbs. Fit her perfect with the adjustable waist.

I really like these pants. Granted I haven't put them to the test of really wet conditions, I trust they'll do the job since they're gore-tex. The Azul color is perfect - bright enough to be spotted on the mountain, but not obnoxiously bright.

These pants look like snowboarding pants (aka. are fairly baggy) but not too baggy either (I'm in my 30s and don't want to look like a teenager ;-) There are enough pockets for everything, and have thigh vents for when it gets hot. The waist some built in velcro on the inside so you can adjust it to be smaller if needed. The only thing they could improve on is that my Bonfire pants have some sticky plastic thing on the inside of the waist to keep your shirt tucked in. It'd be nice of Burton could add that also. Otherwise, very happy with these pants.

As for sizing, I'm 5'4", 135 pounds. Typically wear a size 6 or a waist 28" or 29" in jeans. These pants in small fits me pretty well. The waist is about an inch too big but gives me enough room in the thigh area.
